Influential Christian College Withdraws from the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities
CCCU has never adopted specific creedal or doctrinal tests for its members; it remains dedicated to the advancement of Christian higher education aligned with the historic Christian faith.
Dr. John MacArthur, president of The Master’s College, announced in an email that the school had withdrawn from the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU) over issues of doctrine. “We have increasing concerns about the direction of the CCCU, given that the vast majority of member schools do not accept the Genesis account of...

Lausanne Consultation on Jewish Evangelism Responds to Vatican Document “The Gifts and Calling of God Are Irrevocable”
According to a Vatican commission document released recently stated that Jewish people do not have to believe in Jesus to be saved.
“While we applaud the Vatican’s efforts to combat anti-Semitism and to show love and honor to the Jewish people – one area where the document succeeds,” Melnick continued, “we strongly reject how it has turned the Scripture of Romans 11 on its head in order to end up with the exact opposite meaning of what...

Talks Break Down Between Wheaton College, Suspended Professor
Wheaton College professor Larycia Hawkins was suspended for saying Muslims and Christians worship the same God.
Though the college did not take a position on her wearing the hijab, some evangelical Christians said her statement should have spelled out what makes Christianity distinct from Islam. Not doing so put her in conflict with the statement of faith that all Wheaton faculty members must sign and live out, they said. “While Islam... Continue Reading
Is Expositional Preaching The Only Kind Of Preaching A Pastor Should Do?
No, expostional preaching is not the only kind of preaching a pastor should do. But…
A pastor’s regular preaching should be expositional because God’s Word is what gives life to dead sinners and sanctifies struggling saints (1 Pet. 1:23; Jn. 17:17). God’s Word is what convicts, converts, sanctifies, and builds up his church. A regular diet of anything other than expositional preaching actually hinders the work of God’s Word because...

Westminster II
Challenges of historical and institutional continuity at Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia.
Or could it also be that the same sort of candor that Machen demanded of liberal Presbyterians has been in short supply among those Middle Westminster types who benefited from the institution’s reputation but failed to acknowledge it — even worse, disparaged it? Looks like (and we’ve known this for some time) that Protestants... Continue Reading
Students Talk Guns, Safety After Mass Shootings
Jerry Falwell Jr.’s suggestion to get concealed-carry permits is not a bad idea, some students say
“It just blows my mind when I see the president of the United States say that the answer to circumstances like that is more gun control,” Falwell said in his closing remarks Friday night. “If some of those people in that community center had had what I’ve got in my back pocket right now …”...

Big Win For Canadian Christian Law School
A Canadian high court has restored the Law Society of British Columbia’s 2014 decision to recognize future graduates of Trinity Western University’s law school
The decision marks another turning point in TWU’s years-long battle to open the country’s first Christian law school. The B.C. Law Society overwhelmingly approved the proposed law school for accreditation in April 2014, but the members later voted to reverse the decision under pressure from LGBT activists, who said the school’s policy against homosexual practice...

“I Am Called a Cult Leader. I Really Don’t Care.”
How one of the world’s most beloved worship songs reportedly helped to fuel spiritual abuse at Wayne Jolley’s The Gathering International
A growing number of Jolley’s former followers do care. They turned to Jolley for pastoral care in a time of need, believing he was a man of God with a worldwide ministry. In return, they claim, he took their money and tried to ruin their families. They also claim that Jolley’s ministry has covered up... Continue Reading
Is There A Crisis In Conservative Protestantism?
Conservative Protestantism in the USA—at least its broadly reformed strand with which I am familiar—could be said to be, if not in crisis, then certainly moving toward such.
I do not believe that Protestants need to become Roman Catholics but we do need to understand the problems which beset us from within. The big money parachurch ministries depend upon constant recreation of a market for theological kitsch, and theological kitsch drives out the kind of deep thought which really does need to be...

Wheaton College Says View Of Islam, Not Hijab, Got Christian Teacher Suspended
Wheaton College suspends professor wearing hijab to support Muslims — for her explanation, not the act.
Instead, Hawkins, a tenured political science professor at the private evangelical Christian college, proclaimed on social media that Christians and Muslims share the same God and was suspended by the college. “I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book,” she posted Friday on Facebook. “And...
